At
this point, Hurricane Lane is approximately due west of Kailua-Kona. The Hilo
side of the island has been inundated with heavy rain. Over 2 feet of rain has
already fallen. While the island has not been experiencing high winds, the rain
is causing landslides and fallen trees on the east side of the island.
Consequently, many roads are closed.
In
the Kailua-Kona area, we have had less than an inch of rain and no wind. We are
fortunate to have two mountains protecting us: Mauna Loa and Hualalai.
Consequently, the effects of Hurricane Lane have been minimal so far.
